Create new series subject to a condition

[DBel2012]

Hi,

I'm using EViews9.

I want to create a new series varX based on series varY, and keep only values that are below, say, 200.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

@recode.

Code: Select all

series varx = @recode(vary<200, vary, 0)

Hi,

series varx = @recode(vary<200, vary, 0) does not do exactly what I wanted.

The observations must be dropped if the condition is not met.

Thanks!

Code: Select all

series varx = @recode(vary<200, vary, NA)

Observations where VARX are NA will be dropped from most procedures.

If Glenn's solution doesn't do what you want, you'll need to define "dropped".

And you can always do

Code: Select all

smpl if vary<200

Good morning,

Thanks to you all.

Both, smpl if vary<200, and series varx = @recode(vary<200, vary, NA) will be useful for what I need to do.

Thanks again for your time.
